Final comments
Padova is a great place to get to know Italian culture and learn the language. If you are looking for serious study experience (e.g.long hours over the projects and revising for exams), don't go to Italy. If you are once there then it depends on you - you can study hard and benefit not only from new language skills but also academic experience. Good luck!
